While I charge batteries and pack my bags to leave the Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan for the next leg of our great northern journey, I will share with you a few images from my drive from Abilene to Manhattan yesterday afternoon. My subsequent backroad journey was ended with an allergy headache that lasted until late last night. You can see below in related articles a mixture of this year and last year's Kansas vacations.
I'm not doing as much this year thanks to the cold/flu that I arrived with.
Such a beautiful day out in NW Kansas.
Such a nice afternoon to have the allergens give me a headache.
This is probably the culprit for the headache.
I know I've said this before but being able to navigate off of a paper map is a useful skill to have. It's a scary world to think how dependent upon electronics people are. It's also scary to think of the absolute trust people place in their GPS dependent navigational systems. That being said, I used my GPS on these images so the metadata is geo-tagged. Which I think is pretty cool!
I believe I love the wide open spaces better than the forests and the trees.
After I finish loading these photos I think I will go to the zoo or the lake, since we can't leave for Nebraska until four.
Tomorrow is Nebraska! So get ready the Flint Hills become Sand Hills and the rolling prairies of NE Nebraska - It will be the first time since the early 90s that my sister and I were in Nebraska together.
